Living for the weekend, loving the in between and dragging you along for the ride.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Silence

The weather was quite beautiful here on Monday. I had the day off, so after assorted errands and chores in the morning I headed to a local conservation area for a walk. It appeared that others decided to take advantage of the weather, too, as the small parking lot at the trail head (which accommodates around a dozen cars) was full. So much for my peaceful nature walk.

There are two ways to reach Woodard Bay from the parking lot: a straight-shot down a paved road (limited to foot traffic only) or a nature trail through the woods, which meets up with the road shortly before the bay (and adds about a mile to the walk). Obviously I selected the nature trail. Obviously.

I expected the trail to be littered with noisy people, but, to my surprise, it was empty. Absolutely empty. Pleased, I took my time. Sunlight filtered through the trees off-and-on. Cobwebs shone in their rays. Birds twittered here and there, but otherwise I was surrounded by silence.

Perfection.

Who am I? I'm a wisher in my early 40's, living in Western Washington with my best friend and husband. What am I wishing about? The next weekend, the next vacation, the next meal, the next hike, the next glass of wine. Come along for the ride as I capture the weekends and the stuff in between. View all posts by LaNae
